We're looking for someone to join our London
team and create wonderful websites for both new and existing
clients in ecommerce, hospitality and beyond.

D3R was founded by developers and still over three quarters of
our team are technical. You won't find anyone pressuring you to
"just make it work" because we know that's not how to write great
code or do Good Work. We care about how our sites are built as much
as how they look.

We don't expect you to know everything already, but here are
some of the skills we hope you have or are trying to acquire:

You have a track record of getting things done
and can show us some work you're proud of.

You feel at home in modern object-oriented PHP
using PHP 7+ and how to apply those principles to solve complex
problems.

You're familiar with MySQL (or another SQL
flavour) and how to write queries and design a sensible database
schema.

You're enthusiastic about new web technologies and love
learning about how and when to use them (and when not to).

You have a solid understanding of Composer and
how to manage your PHP dependencies.

You have experience with at least one of the big PHP
frameworks.

You can complement your back end skills with a good knowledge
of HTML, CSS and
JavaScript. We are always looking for good
developers, wherever they fall on the front/back end scale.

Working with git (and GitHub)
is second nature to you by now.

Talking to clients is something you are comfortable with or
happy to learn. We don't have a project management layer so good
communication skills are important.

There are some other areas that would be a real bonus and help
push someone up that "dependent upon experience" scale:

Unit testing is second nature to you and,
ideally, you also have some experience with automated testing and
continuous integration.

Your front end skills are strong. You know
your way around jQuery and use CSS preprocessors
(we like SASS) and front-end build tools (we like
Gulp.js) in your workflow.

Alternatively, you can bring some DevOps
skills to the table. We use Debian and
Puppet and are always on the lookout for careful
experienced heads to help us manage our infrastructure.

You're familiar with what affects webperformanceand how to
measure it.

You've got strong JavaScript skills. If you've
done some more serious JavaScript development with tools like
React, that would be even better.

You have used Zend Framework 1 in the past and understand its
strengths and shortfalls.

You're up to date with and enthusiastic about PHP standards,
familiar with the PHP-FIG and
corresponding PSRs.

You have experience with the wider stack. For us that means
NGINX,Redis,MariaDB,AMQP.

Experience with ElasticSearch and its
idiosyncrasies. We're using this more and more.

You've worked on eCommerce and can show us
some examples of where you've handled the scary end of actually
taking people's money.

Integrating with APIs is an area where you
have a lot of experience and have learnt a few of the lessons. This
could be for payment gateways, booking engines, ERP solutions
etc.

Our studio is in Vauxhall and we are pretty
flexible about start and end times.

We provide everyone with a MacBook Pro,
breakfast and an employee perks
scheme. We also organise weekly team lunches here
in London and monthly gatherings with our sister
office in Chichester.

You'll also get access to dental care, a
pension, a cycle to work scheme
and a Treehouse account for improving your
skills.

You can see a sample of the kind of work we do in our portfolio but here are a few more hidden
projects we've worked on:

We optimised Monica Vinader's entire supply chain management
process, building a complete inventory management system capable of
handling everything from supplier ordering / invoicing, stock
receipts, inventory tracking & pricing - all integrated with
the front end web shop as well as a barcode scanning app developed
for use in their warehouse.

For boutique hotel specialist Mr & Mrs Smith, we built a
complete hotel booking and availability system managing rooms,
rates, offers, cancellation policies, invoicing, and accounting.
This included the creation of a portal to allow hoteliers to manage
pricing/availability/arrival lists and reconciliation. After an
extensive period of consultation with hoteliers and usability
testing, the system is now being used by over 700 hotels from
around the world.

If this sounds like you, apply below and come have a chat with
us about the work you've been doing.

D3R is an equal opportunities employer and actively welcomes
applications from anyone (except recruitment agencies) especially
encouraging those from underrepresented groups in the web
industry.
